Rudd-O <rud...@rudd-o.com> added the comment: apparently, /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages IS in the sys.path, which would seem to indicate that python would actually load pure python modules from there.
Which means that the only fixes that need to go within distutils would be: 1. a fix so in 64bit arches, pure python modules are STILL INSTALLED within the /usr/lib/python2.X dir instead of lib64 2. making every RPM built out of a pure python module depend on the specific Python interpreter it was built under, to a precision of major.minor version. Right? This sort of busts my plan of providing universal RPM packages for all distributions, BUT... BUT... at least means that a single package can work in all platforms of all distributions that have a particular version of the interpreter it was built in. Which is a space / busywork savings of at least platforms*distributions. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5482> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
